Please post if you know the story of how any bands came up with their band name. It must be the most difficult decision to pick a "cool" band name. Anyone know the story behind Hoobastank?

Anyone know the story behind Hoobastank? I've read that it's supposed to be what the "H" in "Jesus H. Christ" stands for. |

I thought it was one of the band members' middle names. At least I think that's what they said on some show I saw a long time ago.

I assume you haven't heard "Out of Control". Me? I downloaded it from you I think when I was first trying to make a personal chart, but never listened to it again because I didn't like it. So I don't remember it.  |

I heard they got Hoobastank because one of the band member's said, "Whose butt stinks?" and they said it really fast and it came out, "Hoobastank?" and that's how they got it.
I'm really being serious, too, haha.
Where did Maroon 5 get their name?
Thanks,
Ben

Anyone know the story behind Blink 182?

They originally named their band Blink just for the sake of naming it Blink, and 182 is apparently the number of times Scarface says F&#$ in the movie Scarface.

Hoobastank was named after what some senior citizen yelled at one of them because they cut him in line or something, I saw it on TRL back when Crawling In The Dark was out.
